Yay for link debate ...
I've printed it out for easier reading. Thanks for the link.
The issue is not whether the early Church believed that Jesus would return soon. They did. And they were wrong.
The question is whether they believed this simply due to their misunderstanding of Jesus' words or whether Jesus' prophecy failed.
The latter is the position of the link you provided, of course.
Sounds fair ...
